she & him.

the holidays are upon us, my friends. it is the time of year that my husband and i ask each other, “what do you want for christmas?” which is usually followed by, “ughh….i don’t know….” shopping for your partner in crime can be a daunting task, especially if you live together and have amassed a certain amount of collective “stuff.” it can also be tough to know what to get for a couple that you consider awesome. i personally love seeing all the lil’ gift guides that come out at this time of year, but i was thinking to myself that i never see couples gift guides. there are gifts for him and gifts for her and rarely do the two collide. so i thought i’d put one together. just for yukks.

my husband and i have had the strange experience recently of being on the hunt for the same pieces of clothing. this winter we’re both on the lookout for the perfect turtleneck sweater (his a la hemingway, mine a la patti smith), and a classic trench coat (his a la steve mcqueen, mine a la kate bush). i was thinking that the trench coat is a pretty fantastic gift to get your significant other: whether male or female there’s really nothing more classic or practical yet sexy. for her i love this sayaka jacket from need supply ($128), and for him this lightweight trench from asos ($127).
